Application led November My invention relates to anew -anduse-ulimprovement in ainilk container and has for its object the provisionoffa container par! ticularly adapted for the reception of milk bottlesand is so arranged and constructed that the contents of the bottle maybe maini tained while in the container at substantially the temperatureat which the contents were placed in the container. il It is anotherobject of the present `invention to provide a bottle container having aswingably rmounted lid adapted :to serve as a closure for the open endof the air space surrounding the container. if) Another object of theinvention is'the provision of means for mounting on the coni tainer aswingably mounted lid so as to serve as a closure for the open ends ofthe'co'mpartments and as a sealing for the air space "1i and thecavities.

Another object of the invention is the provision of means for limitingthe swinging of the cover beyond a predetermined distance.

Another object of the invention is a pro- 13 lvision in a milk bottlecontainer of means projecting upwardly from the bottom of the containerfor retaining the bottle in spaced relation to the bottom.

Other objects will appear hereinafter. 4' The invention consists in thecombination y and arrangement of parts hereinafter described andclaimed.
